Have you ever worked with someone who deliberately tried to get you fired?
do_what_u_need_2dew My friend joined my job and got me fired. Then she became friends with 2 other women there and got them fired and became friends with the boss. They had a falling out. She decided she wants to pivot into nursing. I hope she gets fired.

Barflyerdammit They got tired of me telling them to do their own job, and got me fired. They've closed two locations, lost their two largest accounts, and the remaining business is off 60% in the 6 weeks since it happened. People hoping to sue them are rushing to get paperwork filed.

Vegetable_Wonder_341 Actively tried to get me fired by screaming at me for every minor/perceived mistake I made, then exaggerating all of them to upper management. I turned it around and got her fired for workplace billying.

Old-Ninja-113 Yep. He kept blaming my team for his mistakes. Finally I called him out in front of the IT head in a meeting after once again he tried to put me under the bus. End result - it was a few months though- he ends up getting fired. Best day of my work life

Maleficent_Dark_1307 Yep. Gave me impossible to accomplish work, constantly watching me like a stalker with her face pinched into a scowl, filmed me constantly looking for any kind of screw up, and wrote my boss weird daily emails in a really weird cursive script font to complain about the most random stuff.

dennismullen 12 Yes.. I was in sales, he was a shop guy and said to my coworkers, "OP made a mistake (on some paperwork) and I'm going to get him." I was in charge of setting service appointments and they got paid more to travel and I used my position to freeze him out. He was a toxic weasel.

squaretw Yes. Complain every small detail. Purposely exclude me in senior meetings. Even include my junior without me. When need my help, will ask other juniors to ask me. Without prior notification and justification, suddenly my job title magically includes multiple lol
